Lorient form and stats

When playing at home in the Ligue 1, Lorient have managed 7 wins, 4 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 16 games.

Happy days for Lorient in their previous game, a fixture away at PSG (placed 1st) that ended with a 3-1 victory. At last, a league win after five games without one. Yongwa (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.3/10. Yongwa scored one goal, hit four key passes and had 31 successful passes (of 38 total).

Preceding that match was the home game against Toulouse that was lost 0-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Lorient perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lorient as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Lorient has won 3 of these, drawn 5 and lost 5.

Lorient has scored 21 league goals at home this season, in 16 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.

Brest form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Brest so far with only 15 points returning home. The records show 3-6-8 (win-draw-lose). It's three draws from Brest's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

The Brest goalkeeper Marco Bizot is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 270 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Brest had fun at their own home (Stade Yves Allainmat - Le Moustoir) last time out, beating Nantes 2-0. Douaron and Lage scored. Bizot was the team player of the game with the player rating of 8.15. The agile goalkeeper Bizot topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that, Brest travelled to Ajaccio and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Brest playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 3 Brest wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats.

25 goals have been conceded by Brest in these games.
